Description

The included web server (paxweb respectively jetty) has a race condition so that there is no response from the web service upon invocation of a web service. After the configured time a SocketTimeoutException occurs (which is 60 seconds by default!).

We can triggered this bug in our production environment which is a Sun Netra 5120 and has 64 cores. From about 20000 requests about 100 failed.

The workaround is to disable chunking in the clients configuration however as we have a lot of throughput that raised the answer time considerably. This works for now but as the requests get more we need HTTP/1.1 chunking support so that the connections aren't re-established upon each request.
